WHAT the PROS DON"T Tell you about FLIPPING and PUNCHING for Bass

- In this fishing tips and techniques video I go though what the pros don't tell you about flipping and punching for heavy cover bass in summer and fall. One of my favorite techniques to catch bass, I teach you what soft plastic lures to use, how to rig them for flipping, and what to look for when pond fishing or lake fishing to go punching for bass. It is one of my favorite fishing techniques and works great anywhere you have super heavy cover that mats up. It is also an epic way to catch bass - heavy fishing rods, heavy braided fishing line, and a heavy tungsten weight.
Want the fishing rod, soft plastic lures, and other fishing equipment from the video?

I have survived neck and lung cancer for the last five years. I took up fishing last year and I'm so hooked I already bought a boat. These punching and flipping videos make me so excited. Hope I can find some lakes here to try these techniques. Thanks Mikey I really love what you do and will always be a faithful fan.
God bless you dude! 🙏 and yes I'm sure we all understand being instantly addicted haha. What part of the country are you in?
@@anthonykozar9172
I’m in North Carolina, about five miles north of Chapel Hill. I’m super close to Falls Lake, Jordan Lake and Shearon Harris Resevoir. Most of these are in the 14,000 acre size. I’m also only an hour from Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston the larger of which (Kerr Lake/Buggs Island) around 40,000 acres. Lots of largemouth fisheries to be sure, but there is also strippers and Smallies. I would love to fish Gunnersville and Santee this coming summer. Where are you located Anthony? Do you travel at all? What do you like to fish the most, I.E., docks, punching and flipping, fishing shallow, fishing deep? Is there a particular bait that is your favorite? So I just love to learn. Lol.
Great testimony. Praise God.
right on BROTHER! KEEP REELING! i have been feeling that excitement since i was 4!
Brian, I know what you had to endure. I am a stage 4 throat cancer survivor, I eventually lost my larynx (actually I didn't lose it, I have a pretty good idea where it went, in that I was sleeping and all) but in the end, we are still here. I fished to take my mind off of possible outcomes. Don't know if that had anything to do with it, but I can't help but think it did. Tight lines brother.
You go plunk, the fish go thunk , & the your rod goes wreeEEEeech !!! Sound effect on point MB 💯
I love that sound it’s like a braid orchestra
perfect description!
Be a good ring tone
Al Lindner impersonation 😂😂😂. Love it!!! Great video keep it up.
Mike, I really like the way you approach the audience and how you get your thoughts across to us. 👍🏼
I've been fishing tournaments on lakes like Toledo Bend, Barkley, and Kentucky since I was 16 years old. I learn something NEW from everything he posts. He's also responded when I've had questions. In MY opinion best RUclips pro
Love the sound of braid screeching!great video brutha
Best fishing vids on the TUBE !!! Keep em coming brother ...
You've got a really intense, action-packed style of both fishing and editing your videos. I dig it, you've become one of my faves. It's how I try to fish too, bringing solid energy I mean.
Dudical
A portmanteau of dude and radical,meaning that something or someone is fantastic or awesome
This kind of content is why I watch. Thanks.
Great video!!! “Salad Bar”.. HILARIOUS!!!!! Caught my first punching fish on the gambler because of your recommendation- 6lb’s!!!!
Thanks!
"Oh Nelly!" "Like unwrapping a present!" Bro, you are the best!!! You are my number one channel!!!
That was a solid breakdown on flipping mats!
That ker-plunk thunk and braid screeching sound was on deck. I love that sound, I don't like braid most of the time but time, except flippin and punching , that sound on the hook set is just freaking awesome......some it's like breath hhhh it something like that tight lines,
Just caught my first using this method and it is absolutely insane it hits different when you pull out a monster out of the woodwork
YOU are AWESOME!!! Love your videos and YOU being YOU!!! You are a fantastic teacher....
I always enjoy your videos, super quality audio and video. Great way to start they day, fishing with Mickey! The bugs look miserable!
Awesome content as always Mikey and I /we appreciate the time and effort you put into it. I know you don’t like fishing tournaments or at least that’s what I’ve gathered over time but I and would venture to say a lot of us would love to see you fish some tournaments and then the awesome footage to follow . Just for thought but as always amazing content man tight lines !
That was cool thanks for the video bud
Great video Mike ! Let’s go fishing !
This might be my favorite video yet
Great info!!
Booooom! The grass game is the best. Salad time. I’m still using the E curados also boss! Love the coverage.
Awesome JOB .
Yasss! Sitting at work, when Mikey drops that fire!
Love your videos. You're just a real dude who fishes. I love the currados. I have the DC and that gray one that you have. And the slxdc. I need one of them green ones though. Those are classic
Haha I love this video so much. Had to come back and watch again 😂
thx bro!
I love this Joker 💪
🔥🔥🔥 content always
I love this video, it encompasses my exact same thoughts and love for punching! Epic video, and thanks for making me laugh this morning with the sound effects! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW !! What a fabulous video! All the details about technique, rod size, strength, reel speed, where to find the fish, water depths...you packed it with everthing man! 🎯
LOVED ❤ IT 👍. You even topped it off with that "Fat Sally" Big Girl in the salad bowl at the end. -- Perfect day!
Sound effects on point!! 😂👍
good stuff brother !
Awesome vid.
Hey man...great video...They opened up Fellesmere yesterday..wife and I went today..caught 28 biggest 6.8 that place is sweet...
Great punching video , thanks dude !
LOL salad bars. Thanks for getting me hyped to go home and finish my rod. Awesome vid with my kind of fishing.
Absolutely love your stuff bro everyime that alert goes off i grab my 8yr old and we watch your vids. Its real its fun and its insightful. Thanx for what you do. My son when go.out to fish like to act like he's you fish and calls himself KaysenBalzz lol.. thanx again
Kaysen Ballz 😂😂
Excellent MN/WI dialect
You go Kerr plunk they go dunk and you go crrrr..that my friend is an epic description...👍👍
2020 and mikey balzz is still punching with a curado E7! best reel they made
One thing that's helped me catch more fish with this technique is learning and practicing a soft delivery and not just plunk bait to wherever!
Love Your Videos!
Thanks Joey!
That's a good area to fish we caught two the other day closer to bridge flipping a 6.5 and 5 pounder and the knats suck.
Good tips. Flipping and pitching is one of my favorite ways to fish. It’s fun and competitive just trying to get a bite. #REALFISHING
Love the sound of a rod singing.
Hey Mikey, good punching vid! I think I passed you in the canal at Fellsmere Headwaters on Tuesday. Thanks for the wave. Will here be a video?
Al Linder impersonation was fantastic. Although I had a good friend who was perfect. Love your videos and enthusiasm as well as your detailed explanation. I live up north just off Lake Erie smallmouth country but our bay is all grass. Finally going to get serious again with Flippin and Pitching. P S. Gotta give props to Al L. He’s awesome. Thank you for the inspiration 👍😎
Thanks bud In Fisherman was the standard when I was a kid watched every minute
Will the Bogg be at the tournament in Oct.? I wish there was a lake in my area that had grass like that. Our WLC won't let it happen.
Glad to know I'm not the only one missing salad bars!🤣 Man I look forward to being done with uncle Sam and moving back to the south so i can flip mats with my 7'11 flippin stick!
Been here since the tracker days!! Always good shit brother!!
That's awesome bro thanks!!!
@mikeybalzz fishing one day I'll learn how to punch mats , n3ver thought I'd have to do it living in ohio but these past few years the weed lines have grown 10 times what they usually are......can't ever seem to pin them for some reason
@@MrBobbysmithinhouser that's kind of a cool opportunity though! and if there's one thing i know about bass fisheries is more grass means more and bigger fish.
I am going to be on Guntersville the weekend of the 8th of October for the kbf national championship. Can't wait to try fishing that grass. I love fishing salad. And just as an aside I like salad bars too except can't find any cuz they're all closed down thanks to Covid 19.
Awe man !! Sucks about the Curado cracking like that ! Give Bog another High 5 🖐👋 !! You caught some nice ones !!👍👍🤙😁✌
Yeah I liked it
Dude should have a million subs by now
Mike
The heavy rains have increased the water levels in a couple of the lakes I have been punching lately . Several of the mats that used to come all the way to the top are now under water . How do you adjust to high water when it comes to mat fishing.
Thanks
Nothing better than a punch bite!! I even look for ponds with vegetation to get on that punch bite. Have a small city lake loaded with shad, sunfish, crayfish and all kinds of predator fish that are all stuffed to the gills that has been cleared up over the last 1p years due to muscles and now it gets loaded with grass since sun gets down to the bottom. That lake will put out a 10+ within the next 2 years
I love that sound the braid makes going through the guides when you hook into a donkey. String music
A rock quarry Lake near me is full of hydrilla. Got to give this a try!
I love punching! But when not in the grass where they go? The last few times I was out hard pressed to put 10lbs in the boat! Gotta be close but I just cant find the fish.
Hey mike what’s up what rod and reel combo would you recommend for flipping in Florida for lakes like Toho and Harris chain no price point.
Also could you pls subscribe to my channel I just did my first vid on summer time fishing
Mike you gotta do a video on your camera setup in the back!
Do you ever use the halo Xd III pro series. Are they any good
This was a good 'un.
What's the furthest from the boat you'll make a pitch in really heavy cover?
Looks like a fair amount of eelgrass where you are fishing...i know it doesnt mat up or top out as much, but still worth some flips? Its crowded out most of the milfoil and hydrilla on the lower end...always enjoy your videos!
I like fishing Eel Grass mats we used to do it a whole bunch down on Lake Okeechobee so I will definitely be trying it out
im shocked you moved to guntersvegas!!,,,,,i still picture you on that aluminum boat back on okechobee, damn you have come a long way!
I miss the way that lakke used to fish man that place was epic even in my tin boat with three Footers coming over the front LOL. Thanks for coming with me through this whole trip!
The small fish will come up to eat bugs: damselflies where I live. They will sometimes jump after these bugs as they hatch and return to lay their eggs. Often, when the mats are thick at the surface, the bluegill are stuck on the top of the mat for a second. I think that explains a LOT about a heavy frog bite. But a mat-flipped jig does the same thing on the underside of the mat.
How do you have the spool tension set up? I've seen some people use a somewhat fixed line length (so I assume high/tight tension) and just sort of follow the bait down with their rod, but to me it made more sense to loosen it to where it sank on its own. And then thumbing to prevent any backlash and to gauge depth and feel in case of a quick bite.
i have it pretty loose - not totally loose because i found that it tends to fry drag washers if you keep it like that. but it's not casting so i want the bait to pull line out very fluidly so i can be accurate and no much arm movement.
you know mikey, i miss salad bars too. you sound like how i feel when i'm fishing.
You got FL vibes brother...and trust me as a FL boy I love mat fishing.
Is this Guntersville like below chickamauga?
How do you tye your snell, the only reason i shy away from punching is because of the snell.
You should try out the P-line punchin pegs instead of double bobber stop, I like them a lot
Kirplunk, thunk, and ya errrrrrrrrr💀😂😂💯💯
Do you guide on Guntersville?
no but hit up my buddies Ryan Salzman or Myles Murray both hammers out there!
Sweetness
What handle is in your curado real?
Gotta love your energy man!! Stay grindin and catchin some hogs brotha!!
Do you punch submerged grass? How deep or how shallow of grass is too much?
Do you frog fish vs punch depending on the mats or depth? Both or light intensity?
yup - i try to focus on 10 ft or less but i've caught them all the way down to 15ft doing it. i frog fish when it seems like fish are blowing up more vs eating the bait under the mat.
EPIC" B LIKE MIKEY!
Thanks for the tips! Another informative video.... Btw, at the risk of seeming obnoxious, a little note about the correct pronunciation of 'Guntersville'. Out-of-staters incorrectly pronounce it 'Gun-Turs-Ville', but the correct pronouciation is 'Gunners-vul'. :)
How do you know if your using to heavy of a Weights
what rod are you using exactly ?
Catching Mando’s!!!
12:56
*all dayyy*
You are so funny Mikey
"Decent at fishing deep" lol
Hey Mike do you use straight braid when flipping like that?
i do, i used to play around with flouro leaders but for me they broke to often. i run straight 65 or 80lbs braid
@@mikeybalzz right on brother. Love the channel and your input on things!
what is this, the 2018 Costa championship?
Something about the sound of screaming braid just gets me all hot and bothered!
Indeed it does brotha !
The weeds were just recently sprayed in the lakes I fish. .
Yo Mike I just got my first flipping/punching rod and I was wondering what you think of pairing the Daiwa Tatula 200 7.3.1 with it ?? Appreciate any feedback brother ✌️!
Never tried that specific reel. The problem I run into with anything other than the higher end Shimano reels like my old green Curados, is they just burn out and they can't handle that high impact braid fishing for more than 6 months to a year. With that being said though I think your speed choice is run on point personally I'd go with a little smaller size real like a 150 just so you could Palm it and it makes the setup a little bit lighter.
@@mikeybalzz TY! Im wondering if the 100 is going to be too small for my lebron hands even for my 7'3".. lol. Also the only difference between the 150 and 200 is a deeper spool and 0.2 oz weight since they both share the same frame. I think you should try some daiwas out and lmk cuz im indecisive af lol
@@efishnseetv2082 yeah I don't know if I would go down to a 100 size I don't know if they make a 150 but that 100 size the gearing gets a little bit flimsy
@@mikeybalzz ya i meant idk bout the 100 size for even my 7'3" multi purpose rod. But ya i feel you about atleast a 150 for flipping and punching def makes sense!! TY
If I could fish with one RUclipsr it would be Mikey! I’d want it to be punching mats like this!
What did you crack on that old curado 200e? Also what is TK customs ?
, I cracked the side plate in closer to the real my buddy TK Customs is the one I use for reel repair.
@@mikeybalzz Can he repair a cracked side plate? Or does he just replace?
@@curadoe7 he just replaces it and hyper tunes them
@@mikeybalzz its about time you put one of the SLX's on a punching rod, lock it down, and hammer it to see how well it holds up.
@@curadoe7 gonna do a fun reel test down the line in the mats. should be pretty cool.
bad day for you breaking a curado e hope you can get it repaired love the E my favorite reel .
This dude is the fucking man hands down he's is the best in the game at detail I'm miss salad bar back to the video hahahah 🤘🤘🤘 you rock bro
You know Costa will replace those frames for you for free Mike. ;)
Be nice to those reels!😂👊🏼🤪
dude i broke another one last week!!! gonna try a few higher end daiwas and see if they hold up - what do you throw for punching grass reel wise?
Might check out the Tatula Elite flip pitch reels..
@@skeeterboy77 10-4 i think i ordered the elite - not the flipping specific one though..
I like the Stingers, but man they are so soft and don't last long.
